-=== dinamica.package() ​===+=== Installing packages ​===
  
-Installs ​(if needed via pip) and imports the requested module.+Packages can be installed in two ways: calling ''​dinamica.package(...)''​ from within the expression, or listing package names on the //​packages//​ input port, one per line. The two differ in timing: ''​dinamica.package(...)''​ runs **during** the expression, so it can be called conditionally;​ the //​packages//​ port always runs **before** the expression executes. Because ''​dinamica.package(...)''​ runs together with the script, it may fail if a package is already loaded in an incompatible version.

-  * ''​packageName''​ identifies the package and is the default for both following parameters when omitted. 
-  * ''​installPath''​ is passed to ''​pip install''​. It can be a version-pinned requirement,​ a wheel filename or URL, a ''​git+''​ URL, or a name plus extra pip flags. 
-  * ''​loadPath''​ is the name used to ''​import''​ the module. It defaults to ''​packageName''​.

 +=== dinamica.prepareTable() ===
 +
 +Converts a list of lists into a table ready to be assigned to an output. The first inner list must be the header row. As with any table (see [[ego_script#​constants|Constants]]),​ each column'​s type is inferred from its own values: a column of ''​int''/''​float''​ values produces a Real column, a column of ''​str''​ values produces a String column.
 +
 +^ Parameter ^ Type ^ Default ^ Description ^
 +| ''​inputTable''​ | list of lists | — | The table data. First inner list is the header row; subsequent inner lists are data rows. |
 +| ''​numKeys''​ | int | — | Number of key columns. Key column names will have ''​*''​ appended in the output. |
 +
 +=== dinamica.prepareLookupTable() ===
 +
 +Converts a list of lists into a lookup table ready to be assigned to an output. The first inner list must be the header row. Lookup tables are always Real-typed on both key and value sides — there is no String option — so every value in ''​lut''​ must be numeric.
 +
 +^ Parameter ^ Type ^ Default ^ Description ^
 +| ''​lut''​ | list of lists | — | The lookup table data. First inner list is the header row; subsequent inner lists are data rows. |
 +
 +=== dinamica.toTable() ===
 +
 +Converts several Python data shapes into a valid Dinamica table for output. Column types are inferred the same way as ''​dinamica.prepareTable()''​ — except for a flat list, which always produces a Real-typed lookup table with sequential keys, matching the Real-only rule for lookup tables.
 +
 +^ Parameter ^ Type ^ Default ^ Description ^
 +| ''​inputTable''​ | list of lists; dict of lists; list of tuples; flat list; ''​pandas.DataFrame'';​ ''​numpy.array''​ | — | The data to convert. A flat list produces a lookup table with sequential keys. A ''​numpy.array''​ must have its header as the first row. |
 +| ''​numKeys''​ | int | — | Number of key columns. Key column names will have ''​*''​ appended in the output. Ignored for a flat list, which always produces a lookup table with sequential keys. |
